Perhaps I am missing the boat on this and feel free to tell me if I am....but...
If you are setting the profile path for a list of users, you probably already
know the path to the profile directory, and then the only thing that changes is
the username, correct?
I use this (somewhat modified for security reasons) line in my setup script:
\\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\newuser\tscmd %server% %newusername%
TerminalServerProfilePath
\\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\Profiles\%newusername%
(note this probably wraps, but it really is all on one line)
Where %server% is set to the PDC for the NT4 Domain of the new user being
created (we have more than one domain)
and %newusername% is set to the username of the account being modified.
So, perhaps, you could create a text file with a list of usernames, say name it
USERS.TXT
Then you would use a simple FOR /F loop to make the change to each users
profile...for example:
FOR /F "eol=;" %%l in (C:\USERS.TXT) DO
\\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\newuser\tscmd MYPDC %%l
TerminalServerProfilePath \\PROFILESERVERNAMEHERE\users\termserv\Profiles\%%l
(again, the above line will probably wrap)
Hope this helps.

Like a lot of other people on this list, I'm looking for a way also for a
long time
There is no simple way of doing this.
We tried to change the schema so that when copying a user the tsprofile
paths would be inherited like the profile paths do.
This didn't work unfortunatly....
So I stand beside you in your quest for the holy script.
Grx
Rob

Onderwerp: [THIN] Applying TsProfilePath via TSCMD with Variables
I have a list of userids for which I would like to change their
TerminalServerProfilePath to all be:
%profile%\%username%
TSCMD doesn't seem to like the variables. Is there anyway that I can do
this?
(Sorry, but I'm not much of a scripting expert.)
